I can't speak of others, but I get annoyed that some people like Pasta and PKing can a) have as much influence as they appear to, and b) actually fool their employers enough to keep their jobs.

The c) option is pure jealousy on my part. I'd love to have that kind of unaccountable job!

Because certain writers are a-holes

I think many people around here get pissed at writers like Pastabelly, King, Dr Z, and Don Banks because it really just seems like their employers don't hold them accountable for anything they write. These guys frequently treat rumors as if they're facts and they use them to trash the Redskin organization. Many writers wouldn't be allowed to get away with the hack they pump out, but for whatever reason they seem to be set for life.

Peter King and PastaBelly are deplorable. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't with these assbags. Peter King picked the Dolphins to play the Pathers last year in the Super Bowl, just a microcosm of what an moron he is. And Pasquerilli unfortunately has ESPN as his soapbox so people listen. We're an easy team to create drama around, and he takes no shame in exploiting it. But he's rarely correct about us, so whatever. Clayton and Mort make him look like crap regularly. Lenny boy isn't even the 3rd best NFL writer on ESPN

I have no use for him. He was once asked a question by a member of ES what he thought of Skins fans. After a bit of debate, His response was, "I hate you f*ckers." He really does and he doesn't try very hard to hide it.

Well, that's okay, because the feeling is mutual.
